| For over four years AANR has been working to re-establish a nude beach section on the Maryland end of Assateague National Seashore. On behalf of our members who enjoy skinny-dipping in a safe and positive environment, AANR has lobbied legislators and Federal and State officials, funded a test case, and created an outreach program that includes members, clubs, and interested individuals through social networking sites like Facebook.
We now have an opportunity to share with officials of the National Park Service the message that nudists will continue to be positive stewards of the environment and good partners if they will help us create a designated section for nude bathing at Assateague. The National Park Service Assateague National Seashore officials are in the process of developing a general management plan for the barrier island for the next 20 years and are soliciting public input in the process. Public meetings are scheduled for September 21st, 22nd and 23rd at three locations in Maryland near Assateague Island. All meetings are scheduled from 4:00pm to 7:00pm. If you are interested in participating in one or more of these meetings, either as part of the audience or to convey positive messages about nude recreation as an official use at Assateague (Maryland), please contact the AANR East Government Affairs Chair, Audrey Weber, at 703-244-6615 or governmentaffairschair@aanr-east.com |
